MotoSense v0.51 patch (see top of post)
WIPE YOUR PHONE BEFORE ANY FULL IMAGE IS INSTALLED! (Recovery menu - factory reset)
If you don't you might get constant reboots with the M logo
INSTALLATION:
Use G.O.T Recovery / Open Recovery to install this rom.
Currently require you to install a 2.36 stock rom, before you install this one.
Radio Band Requirements for different countries
Some countries require the original 3G files of your current ROM to work ie.
Canada, Brazil, Venezuela, Germany and some others countries uses a different band for 3G. If u dont backup the 4 original 3G Files and restore it over this nandroid once installed u gonna have poor signal, sms problems and HSDPA loss (even if u set apn and get conection its gonna be crappy one).
Files should be in the /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/ of your phone.
This can be done using OpenRecovery and a adb shell.
You might check this thread , if a update-nosign.zip file exists for your model. which makes it easier for you to install.
Filenames are:

- Reloading of Rosie (HTC Launcer)
Reason for not fixing it is that Motorola Milestone simply do not have enough memory for HTC SenseUI to run stable with only 256MB.
the launcher is very memory hungry for all its plugins and graphics.. so sorry, no fix, unless you add 256MB more memory to your phone.
- Bluetooth headset

OLD REVISION DATA DELETED, OBSOLETE and not worth writing anymore
WARNING: Use this image at your own risk and i take no responsibility if
you brick your phone.. Image has been tested on a UK milestone and works fine if all files in ADB recovery image is used.
woah, nice work buddy. just got a question, if i apply this rom to my North American Milestone, do i lose the ability to access 3g/hspa network from rogers?
is gps working
i got one guy on IRC from Canada(im from europe, so im not sure on networks you got overthere), he tried it, and it works fine for him
You should try to only flash the system+data image of it, as the cust.img contains telephone info, which might be what you need to keep.
GPS is not working atm..
im new to the motodroids , will this work on the motorola droid or just the milestone ? ive had the droid eris so im not sure if there is a difference between the droid and milestone, sorry for the dumb question,

Porting is no easy task, when its not about development, and zeusdroid actually do have some customized wireless driver.
But i managed to use the existings drivers from Milestone..
And im probably not going to do programming to make the port perfect, as that not so easy, although i got some experience.. but none within driver programming.
im really happy with the progress dext3r, this is awesome.
just curious, any ETA for GPS fix?

if you know your way on a few linux commands,
then you're welcome to make it work yourself.
1 . copy the /system/lib/libgps.so from the original milestone 2.36.0 image.
2. flash motosense image.
3. mount /system
and copy libgps.so into the flashed image into /system/lib
and GPS works after a reboot.. So fixed!
of course all done from adb shell.

10.1 for 2.1 senseui roms are not real, it just looks like 10.1,
but the flashlite already reports that number.
and yes, flashlite works fine. tested on a few flash websites.
I have a Telus Milestone and I will consider trying this ROM at some point.
Just to crosspost from the other thread... in another thread I was told the following. Could be useful for keeping 3G.
DAGr8 said:
cmstlist , there is an easy way to retain your baseband just flash the HK sbf , then , copy paste these files and make sure you set the permissions correctly .
Probably safest to do via adb if you dont make sure you reboot ...
for the 3G baseband Hack/Swistch it 5 files from /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default

So perhaps if you want to try Motosense on your Telus Milestone, then you should backup these 5 files (and take note of the permissions) before flashing the nandroid image. Then afterwards if 3G doesn't work on the Motosense image, restore the same 5 files.
Ok I wasn't able to flash only certain parts of the nandroid backup so what I did was make 1) a full nandroid backup of the Thai firmware (leaked from GOT) on my Telus Milestone unlocked for Fido, 2) a partial nandroid backup using the options --backup --nodata --nocache --nosystem
Then 3) I flashed all of the motosense backup. Trying a first boot. Will report on whether my NAM 3G is gone.
All I get after the M boot logo is a black screen, followed by a force close notification for system. Nothing else comes up. Long-press Home and I get no recent applications. Oh wait - spoke to soon! Wow, just got the HTC lock screen. Unlocked and now I have the setup screen. Asks me to insert SIM to place calls as if I don't have one inserted. My only option seems to be to press "Skip". Okay, home screen loading up now after the tutorial.
So yeah it's not seeing any phone service and I get "Unable to start Wi-Fi". I'm going to try a second reboot. This time the Droid eye shows up promptly (BTW this is very odd to see because Milestones don't usually have that animation). The phone boots up considerably faster than on the Motorlola firmware. *This* time, I do see cell service. In fact I just got a text message. Wait it just dropped again.
Trying to search for network operators. None showing. Strange! It does see wifi though this time. As the OP implied, DHCP not coming through. Meanwhile my Fido service just came back... VERY weak. Dropped again. Normally both EDGE and 3G are quite strong at my apartment so it's odd. Is it possible this ROM has weaker RF somehow?
Ok trying to set up the APN. Noticing the keyboard doesn't light up. APN set up but still no service. Reboot #3: Yes, wifi works now. Mobile network still very weak. Briefly connected to mobile data and it was EDGE. Test phone call fades in and out. Maps manages to wifi-geolocate me.
Alright, so I'm obviously having connectivity problems and only getting 2G. Let's try flashing back the partial I took from the Thai firmware. To be continued next post.
Okay! Flashed back my partial backup from Thai 2.1. Rebooting. Droid eye comes up, glares at me a couple times, back to the homescreen. Connects to Fido. Disconnects, connects again. I am still connected via EDGE, not UMTS. I try going to *#*#4636#*#* and selecting WCDMA only - no dice.
Alright well this has been fun. But obviously I need my phone service to work so this ROM is not for me. Despite having dutifully pasted the info up above about the 5 files to backup... I neglected to do so. So it's back to the full nandroid of my Thai firmware. But one thing for sure, Sense is very pretty!
Before doing this, I made one attempt to install Superuser.apk using the app installer, and then to install Root Explorer. Root Explorer was unable to get root. Maybe if I installed Superuser via OpenRecovery it'd be happier.
Okay back to normal. Goodbye for now Sense!
Backup restored successfully. I used Root Explorer to back up the 5 files in question to SD. Then I restored MotoSense one more time, and before even booting it up the first time I applied root from OpenRecovery. This time it booted much faster. (Is there any way the stock ROM can be hacked to boot this fast? Wow.)
Again, wifi fails to start on boot #1; succeeds but no DHCP on boot #2; works on boot #3. Signed into my Google account and installed Root Explorer (previously purchased). This time Superuser pops up like it should and we're in. I entered Airplane mode. I pasted in the 5 backed up files from the Thai firmware to /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default after mounting read/write. Then I made sure to fix the permissions. Rebooted without exiting airplane mode.
After reboot I disabled airplane mode. Hey, FULL SIGNAL BARS! I did it. But now it's telling me unable to start wi-fi. Let me add in the APN next. Done.
YES! The little H pops up. I'm getting 3G data! But as soon as the icon pops up, it drops out again. In any case I know I'm connected to UMTS because my cell tower ID in Maps > More > About is 1957869 which is my local UMTS tower. Test phone call is *much* clearer and signal isn't dropping anymore. One more reboot.
On the next reboot, wifi is back. Upon disabling it, the lovely "H" shows up and then flits down to "3G". Testing in browser... hmm nope. Something still missing, don't know what. One more reboot, trying again. Internet works on wifi, but not on HSPA (even though the 3G/H icon comes up).
Sanity check: Dialed *#*#4636#*#*, Phone information. Run ping test.
Ping IpAddr: Fail: IP addr unreachable
Ping Hostname (www.google.com): Fail: Host unreachable
One more sanity check: Switched to GSM only, verified in Maps>About that it's connected to a 2G cell ID (57322). Full signal bars, good call quality. So swapping the files improved both 2G and 3G voice performance.
Since I had a bit more success with this approach, I'm saving a backup for future reference, and on my rare moments of idle time I'll play with it again. But back to stock for now.
Hello.
I´m new owner of Xoom "refurbished by motorola" bought on Don´tRetail.
With serie rom, updated by OTA to 3.2, all run perfectly. Enough smooth and run, but Quadrant give me a poor results (1700 points).
After unlock, flash recovery clothwork (3.2.0.0 rc4), I flash tiamat roms (2.0, updated 2.01, and later 2.1 hammerhead).
In all this scenaries, when just flash the new rom, work correctly, but when I installa any application...oh oh...
...when I press power button to suspend it, after eight second Xoom automatic reboot.
I back to stock status (reflash serie rom, serie recovery...all serie) and xoom work correctly.
when I reflash to use another time Tiamat´s rom...here is the problem...when I installed any application, if I suspend Xoom reboot automatically after eight second.
If I plug xoom to pc, and in "cmd terminal" I made:
adb logcat
I can suspend xoom without it reboot.
I tried to elevate minimal frecuencyes in setcpu, but same results.
I tried to do a logcat > logcat.txt in terminal emulator, and suspend the xoom...same result...reboot after eight second.
Any sygestions for I can use Tiamat roms???? With stock rom I have 1700 point in quadrant...with Tiamat without overclock (my xoom don´t let me overclock ) I have 2800 points.
A lot of thanks....Im so frustrated
Ok, I am just asking this to make sure I am 100% clear with this story.
Everytime you do an image with no apps and you shut down, the Xoom doesn't restart, but when you download applications it does... If this is so, I would suggest that you list the applications that you put on your tablet when it does restart, because to me, it sounds like it is an application that is bugging out on the Xoom.
Android systems are set up to force a restart if there are too many system resources being chewed up by applications that are a "High Priority" status and this causes a system resource lock up, and unfortunately, the only way to fix that is to force restart the system. IF it is a app that is doing it, all you need to do is make sure that app is not running to allow it to do so. Good ways of finding out is to use Titanium Backup (Marketplace) to freeze the apps (but that is only for a paid version...) or as someone else just previously suggested in another forum post is Autorun Manager where it allows you to freeze applications from starting up.
I would also suggest that you use the LogCat function in the SDK Tools that is stored in DDMS (aka ddms.bat located in the SDK TOOLS Section). This little program will allow you to do LogCat on your computer as well as save the log as a txt to upload to us (or for easy copy and paste) and as well as allows you to take screen shots and so forth. This might help you out finding the problem too as well as help us
So could you please give us these details to help you out even more?
Is this a Wi-fi only or 3g model that you bought?
Current Rom and Kernel (if I am wrong on the next two posts)
~Guess on Rom is: 2.1 hammerhead
~Guess on Kernal is: (I did not see where you said what the current Kernel was...)
Current Application List that Forces the Xoom to kill itself and reboot, even if it is just one... it might allow us to help you obtain a compatibility issue (if others are having the trouble with the same applications)
You had this trouble after you flashed the new ROMs, are the correct version? (aka Wi-fi only vs 3g romsm, cause there are 3g roms for Tiamat)
Did you clear the cache before and/or after you put the new ROMs on?
I hope we can get this resolved as soon as possible for you!
(links)
to get DDMS if you do not have it yet, please go here -- http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html -- and you will be able to get step by step walk through to get the SDK. You will need to launch in Terminal/Command Prompt (depending on the Computer Operating System that you use.)
Firts...a lot of thanks for your answer.
With original-stock rom all work all right. My machines arrived with 3.1 Honeycomb, and via OTA updated to 3.2 (HTJ85B).
With this roms, all work correctly. I installed a lot aplications and work allright. I root this rom, and all are working well.
If I try to install any rom from Tiamat, doing previous wipe, the rom runs perfect. I install Titanium to reinstall all my aplications, and all work well. I can work about hours without problems...but with this roms (with all tiamat´s kernel and launpad kernel...) in the moment I suspend, after 8 or 9 second the tablet reboot automatically.
I tried to do a clean install, and only install one aplication, like flash player...and all are ok. After it, install another one, and after it another...but at tirth or fourth there is the problem another time...and tried with diferent aplications. Sometimes the problem go after install flasplayer, sometimes after install RepliGo, sometimes after install dolphinHd...
The more stranger thing is that if a plug the tablet to pc, and make a "adb logcat"...if I suspend de tablet...no problem, no reboot.
It´s possible that mi gpu aren´t righ? I say this because I guess that when the system go suspend, the gpu frecuencies go down (or gpu voltajes) and this made machine reboot... and it´s possible with tiamat´s kernel voltajes and/or frecuencies GPU are diferent than in stock rom.
It´s possible flash a tiamat rom without customiced kernel??? If I could try a tiamat with stock kernel, or with gpu without variation in voltajes or frecuencies.
NOTE: sorry for my english
So could you please give us these details to help you out even more?

I would actually ask if you have your wifi set to go off when the screen is off. This is a known issue...unless the wifi sleep policy is set to Never, the Xoom may reboot when the screen is off. It could be as simple as that.
Oh oh...so many probes that I don´t Know if I change wifi policy or not
But I remember dont change this between flash and install all apks.
At this weekend I´ll probe it and say you, now I need stable tablet to work.
A lot of thanks.

Heya,
I bought a Sophone V 75 (an iPhone 4S copy, almost identical to Goophone Y5).
It is an andorid based phone
Naturally the OS was horrible, all in Chinese.
Well I followed instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896242 how to root the phone.
Then I used the Rom manager app to change the recovery file and install the ICS 4.0.3 ROM for the Sophone V75 with working Google Play Store.
All good until I realized that I have no data connection what so ever, not even edge (not to mention 3G /4G).
In addition, the wifi reception is horrible, and I have to stand next to the router to get any data.
(I live in Finland, if that has anything to do with the poor connection [i.e. an ICS made for the Asian market etc.?], I am a complete noob in modifying / rooting etc.)
My question:
1. Can I install a radio image file designed for another device (naturally there isn´t really anything made for the Chinese knock-off)
2. Can I use the Rom manager to boot to recovery, select and flash the radio.img file that is suitable. Or do I need some special software for that.
I basically now have a phone whit great specs but which is useless due to bad wifi and no data connection! (paperweight) :crying:
Thanks for your input!
NO 3G or DATA CONNECTION? - TRY THIS!

HI there!
I also flashed the Android ICS 4.0.3 version and I did NOT have 3G or DATA CONNECTION
working after this update???
(I used the Recovery.img I uploaded on this page to flash phone to this ICS and it is available below on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896242&page=3
1. Put this on the root of your internal SD card of your Sophone-Godphone V75.
2. Then to flash the phone, turn OFF the phone, and connect Sophone V75 with USB cable to computer.
3. Press POWER ON and VOL+ BUTTON at same time and hold for 7-8 seconds!
The Apple boots for some seconds and after this a blue RECOVERY MENU appears in english!
4. Use the vol buttons to scroll and confirm your choices with Power button!
MY SOLUTION TO MAKE DATA CONNECTION WORKING:
The mistake I made was to edit SIM MANAGEMENT inside Settings and I changed the title of the Operator
from TELIA(default name) to HALEBOP (Halebop uses TELIA as netprovider) and also I edited(changed!)
and wrote the cellphonenumber inside SIM MANAGEMENT under "Enter Phone number".
I think it may be this problem if you insert your own titles and number and the phone gets mixed up?
I tried after this to insert APN settings from the Operator HALEBOP(Sweden)all the time but no success!
At last I got tired and tried to flash to other firmware version Sophone V75 but it did NOT work either??
So here I was stuck with this ICS Android 4 with NO DATA CONNECTION and not possible to reflash!!
HERE IT GOES:
So only thing to do was to TURN OFF the phone and use the Recovery.img to boot into Recovery Mode.
As I described in the beginning of this reply!
In this Recovery Menu I first chosed to:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
after this was done I chosed:
2. Clear Cache
and after this:
3.Reboot !
The phone rebooted and took some time and after this it started up and my default Telephone Operator
TELIA was titled under SIM MANAGEMENT as default after this factory reset and clear cache!
So I DID NOT change anything after this and just simply went into SETTINGS/ SIM MANAGEMENT
and pressed Data Connection and chosed TELIA inside and it WORKED!
The letter E showed up directly up in the top of the display screen beside the "signal strength" icon!
So I recommend to do exactly as I described and hopefully your V75 will be working with DATA CONNECTION!
GOOD LUCK!
When flashing the Motorola Moto G 2015 with any custom ROM (Cyanogenmod, Resurrection Remix, Lineage), the PRL information sticks until a reboot from custom ROM.
When rebooting, the phone has internet access (including Hotspot), however no text messages, inbound/outbound phone calls do not work. The fix has been flashing Virgin Mobile stock ROM in TWRP recovery, programming the phone (##72786#) and then restoring a backup from custom ROM via TWRP recovery. Then the phone will again be able to send/receive text messages and phone calls - until the next reboot.
Would like to know if there is a fix to bypass reflashing stock ROM if phone needs rebooting from custom ROM. This process takes about 15 - 20 minutes. Big nuisance.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Copy this APN (see the attachments), to system/etc and set permissions to 0644 or rw-r--r-- with a root explorer. Reboot. Go to settings>more>cellular networks, select LTE in Preferred network type, and RUIM/SIM in system select. Tap the "carrier settings" option at the very bottom. All the radios will reset and come back on in a few seconds, and everything should work after that. Let me know if you need any more assistance, I'll be happy to help. I've had to deal with this issue since day one.
Edit; You will only have to do this after flashing a ROM, and this includes updates too. It can also be done through TWRP's file manager immediately after flashing before you even boot it the first time, and without root.

Try rebooting the ROM without your sim card in. Then put it back and reboot once more. It should reset. I didn't realize you were still using cm12. Those settings are only found in 6.0.1 and up. The apn settings not being visible has something to do with us being CDMA. I think it's the sim cards virgin uses.
You also need to add these lines to the end of your build.prop too. (Not needed on MM+)
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=311490
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Virgin Mobile US

You also need to add these lines to the end of your build.prop too. (Not needed on MM+)
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=311490
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Virgin Mobile US
ro.telephony.default_network=8
telephony.slteOnCdmaDevice=1

While waiting for your reply, I copied the APNS-Conf.xml file attached to your original reply to the system/etc folder on phone and rebooted. Inbound/outbound phone calls and text messages seem to be working now. Even performed a backup in TWRP and then rebooted again. All seems to be operating properly.
I did not add the build-prop text you gave in previous reply. What exactly does this build-prop text do? I'm hesitant in adding it as everything is operational - the old saying 'don't fix what isn't broken'.
I was using Cyanogenmod 13, however, I did not like some of the Cyanogenmod 13 apps, i.e., text messaging app. The Cyanogenmod 12.1 texting app has many features that CM 13 doesn't. Also, CM 12.1 seemed to run smoother on the Motorola Moto G 2015 phone I'm currently using.
Also would be interested in knowing where the apns-conf.xml file was pulled from and what all this file did to make everything work again.
FYI, as standard procedure I always mount system and then flash the Virgin Mobile APNFix (which I've attached for anyone running across this thread in need of this file) in TWRP after flashing a new ROM and associated GAPPS , however, it seems that the apns-conf.xml file became corrupt/unusable somewhere along the line.
Your efforts in helping me solve this issue are appreciated.

If everything is working properly, then don't worry about adding those lines. I had to add those and the apn to get LTE working on the older test builds of cm12. As far as I know, it just locks you to virgin. It was likely fixed in later builds of cm12.
The APN I pulled from an older build of cm13. When flashing the older ones, the install process would locate and copy virgin's current apn to /system/etc and rename Motorola's default APN to .bak. (The giant 500kb+ APN with all the carriers found in stock.) It would also add a US Cellular APN. I discovered at some point from poking around enough, that deleting the .bak and US Cellular APNs got LTE working if I reset the radio afterwards.

This is a nice and informative thread for anyone that has the same issues that you and I have had with Virgin Mobile APN's. Hopefully it will be added to Google searches soon.
Appreciate all the help.

Showing 4g On Sprint

good news for Sprint users
What's the point of SprintDM and Carrier Provisioning Service if 4G relies on a Modem & APN? The world may never know.
Thanks for this, now Fi users can also get full Sprint access (if they need it).

The verdict is out on whether this works for FI at the moment. Currently it's a guide for straight sprint. If someone gets this working with FI, please post
This doesn't work on Project FI because APN settings are disabled by the Project FI app.

I have an idea for fi, give me a few and I'll post my suggestion. On the road at a red light lol
EDIT: Working on my idea now
If someone with FI, on a lineage base (or GSI) having issues with FI days could PM me, I have an idea I'd like tried before I post it.
Message sent I'm interested in being guinea pig.
Sorry, been sick the past couple days. I got a fi sim, and tried it out. Didn't work
I switched to project fi, this fix does work.
Tried this fix for the GSI 9.0 ROM, using Project FI. Everything else seems to work just fine. Keep getting the message about SprintDM stopping anytime I try to connect to Sprint. Either through Fi Activation or using dialer codes. Anyone else have the same issue?

Yes, Sprint will only connect to 3G as well, logcat said something about missing a Java file ( or class), the file is there so I'm going to open Java file and see if I can figure anything out, don't expect much from me though.

Sprint doesn't even connect on 3g for me, as soon as it tries to connect with Sprint, I get the SprintDM.apk has closed error. Then it switches over to Tmo. I wouldn't even really mind if Tmo worked at all in my area. Hate to go back to stock just for Sprint lol. I was going to attempt to maybe replace the SprintDM.apk in the system files. I noticed the one in there has a build date from 1969.
Not sure if that even matter, might trip up some kind of security. Like when the date on Windows is set incorrectly? Just guessing. Going to stick with the Wi-Fi/Tmo service as long as I can, don't want to end the Pie love affair yet.

I was trying that, it won't install because it's a system app and the uid (not sure on the actual error) is mismatched. Looking it up online suggested either editing manifest xml or clearing odex file from priv app, which I couldn't find a way to do successfully.

I'm just sticking with T-Mobile and Wifi for now. Don't want to go back to 8.1 after using 9. Maybe someone will have a fix eventually, I'm sure that's more likely than Moto actually releasing Pie this year.
Anymore information on if this works with Project Fi? I am on Project Fi and would like to run Lineage but went back to stock for the fact that my data for Sprint and US Cellular were not working. I had to leave my phone on T-Mobile all the time which is not optimal where I drive and live. I need my phone to be able to get data in remote locations through the different carriers. I ran LOS 15.1 Unofficial, Official and LOS 16 Unofficial. None of them had mobile data on Sprint or US Cellular. Only T-Mobile. I tried installing SprintDM in system to no avail.
A thought, I have had Fi since beginning. Now with US Cellular added, it's a must for my area of coverage. I live in a remote (cell wise) area and only US Cellular works. So my Moto X4 is stock until Pie updates for all above reasons. On my Nexus 5X I could not use any Lineage based roms because of the Sprint/Fi problem. From What I have found Lineage went from complete ASOP to some else after 14.X for certain system based files for carriers. Especially Sprint APN's. My knowledge is limited on how or why. Even with my returned Pixel 2 and now Pixel (unlocked Verizon) I have to stay with Google based app+apk's roms to have ALL Fi Carriers switching with out problems. I still can't use Lineage based roms + apks to get Carrier switching to work on my Pixel. So can somebody figure out how to still use original Moto X4 Fi App packages? That may fix it.
I have all 3 networks working with 4G on my phone on the latest version of LOS 16. I had to add in some files I pulled from the latest Pixel 3 Rom. I'm not sure if all the files I grabbed are needed since I'm not an expert by any means but what I added seemed to get all three networks working.
I haven't had much chance to test auto switching because I'm generally always on T-Mo.
I also flashed the NON-HLOS.bin from the latest stock rom as well following the instructions in OP's post. I didn't bother creating the apn.
After rebooting I cleared the data for the project-fi app and let the service re-activate.
Not sure if it matters but I also have the stock gapps package installed.
I'll attach the files I used showing the paths where I copied the files to. I just overwrote whichever files were already there. I would make a twrp zip to install these files but I'm not sure how to do that if someone else wants to take a crack at it feel free.
